tween the two acts. In subject, in Ian
guage, in objects, In duties imposed and

the similarity is 80 striking that the au-

n connecticut Coachman Eiopcs with His
Employers Daughter.
The village of Redding, Conn, is
greatly excited over the elopement of
Miss Ennice Hill, daughter of the most
prominent and wealthy citizen of the
place, with her fathers coachmnn, Fred
crick Hicks. Hicks is twenty-seven
years old and is said to be IL very dis
agreeable looking young fellow. 1t
appears that Hicks had been in the en-
ploy OF MIR. Hill for about ten months
during which time Miss Hill fell desper-
atsly Ill love with him. The young lady,
who is accomplished in every way, of
fanltless form and very beautiful, was
not only the belle of the village, but of
all the noighborlng towns. She taught
a class IN Sunday school in her fathers
church and had many admirers. Some
months ago the conduct OF Miss Hill
and the coachman caused much village
gossip and 1T finally reached the fathers
ears. He was highly indignant and
threatened to kick his coachmun from
his premises. But Miss Eunicc begged
him not to, as it would create n scnsa-
ton, and she finally succeeded in having
the servant retained. Recently Hicks's
conduct toward Miss Hill was 80 objec-
tionabic that the girls father said he
must 60.
The coachman secured q situation in n
livery stable, but kept up a communities
ton with Miss Hill. Last week he came
to MIR. Hills residence and begged that
gentleman to take him back into his ser
vice. This Mr.. Hill refused TO do.
While the two men were in conversation
Miss Eunice quietly stole out of the
house and got into her lovers carriage,
as per arrangement. The couple drove
Mt once to Brewster's, a neighboring vii
lage, where they we're married without
delay. The father of the girl il greatly
enrnged over the affair. :

INDUSTRY or THE SOUTH.

I'll" Marvellous Progress Of the Ycnr
1886 1t ~SurpnSscs any Year, Even of the
Last Wonderful Decade.
In its annual review OF the industrial
progress of the South, the Baltimore
Manufacturers Record says that 1886
was the most remarkable year in many
respects in the history of the Southern
States, and more accomplished for the
prosperity and progress of the whole
South than ever before in any year.
This is shown in the enormous invest
mcnts of capital in industrial enterprises
and in the growth OF confidence among
Northern aud European investors in the
stability OF the South's iron and other
manufacturing interests.
The mount OF capital, including the
capital stock of incorporated companies,
represented by new manufacturing and
mining enterprises organized or char.
tered at the South during 1856, includ.
ing the enlargement of old plants md
the rebuilding of mills, aggregates $129.-

Ior years Mr.. Burkett had been tho
fcrryman at the Hawkinsville road cross

giant physique, with long gray locks,
and became especially noted because of
the brace of revolvcrs which he kept
strapped to his waist. He was a great

IL CONFEDERATE VETERANS.
What tho state of south Carolina Has
Done for their ppo

Done Tor their support.
South Carolina furnished more soldiers
to the armies of the late Confederacy, in
proportion to her white population, than
any State III the Confederation of seced-
ing States, which is, however, only
natural, considering the fact that seces-
son had Its birth in her borders. She
mas also done less toward relieving her
manned II wounded soldiers than any
oouthcrn state. This is, perhaps. owing
to the fact that the State was longer un-
der the control OF the carpet-bag regime
than other States and that she was prob
ably the worst-plundercd State in the
South under that plundcring regime.
Soon after war, when the first Legisla-
turc met under Governor Orr, and be-
fore the Acknowledgement of the blacks,
an Act was passed providing for the fur
nlshinS of artificial limbs for those Of
her soldiers who had lost II leg or an
arm IN the service. Under this Act dis
abled soldiers received from 500 to
S2OO each, the necessary funds being
appropriated annually. 1t is to tho
credit Of the carpet-bag Government
that this appropriation, about $40, 600
annually, was never withhold.
When the Government reverted to tho
whites by the revolution of 1876 an at
tempt was made to provide pensions for
the disabled soldiers, but the State was
too poor, and the one-armed and me
legged Confederate soldiers in the Leg
stature were always the most strenuous
Ill opposing the measure. Every year
since 1876 half-doHen or more Acts have
been passed appropriating specific sums
ranging from $50 to 5000 to manned or
disabled Confederate soldiers, each Act
being, however, Il specific appropriation
Tor an individual named. No general
pension Act has ever been passed. At
the recent session, which closed on De
cembcr ~, an Act was passed charging
the provisions OF what is known as the
Artificial lamb Act, and extending its
benefits to persons who have resided in
the State for ten years, whether they
wcrc natives OF not. This is about all
that has ever b en- done for the manned
soldiers of the State.

or: Your editorial in the The News and

Is misleading. For instance, speaking
OF the bills cmanating from the Farmers
Convention, and which have been either
postponed, amended out OF all shape or
slaughtered outright in the Senate, You
say:
"Who is responsible we need not say.
The Senators will be prepared, Of course,
to explain their action to their con
stltuents when the proper time comes,
and they will doubtless be given the op-
portunity. But whatever their reason,
good or bad, the fact remains that the
quarrel OF the farmers. If the have any,
is with their own representatives. The
non-agricultural members Of the General
Assembly have been willing and ready,
as they have abundnntly shown, to grant
every request and adopt every plan
which the farmers should agree upon for
the advancement OF their peculiar inter
est, and to give to them the control of
their peculiar affairs. The failure is
chargeablo to the men whom they have
selected and clt cted to carry out their
plans, and the settlement must be had
with those who arc responsible for the
failure"
You may rest assured that they will
